Is government using fake cellphone towers to spy on us?

Have you ever seen a cellphone tower? They are the towers that your cell phone “looks for” as it tries to make contact with other cellphones for calls and texts.

The cellphone tower that you thought you saw might not really have been one, according to a recent report in Popular Science magazine. Les Goldsmith, the head of a company that imports and sells secured mobile phones that can alert you to hacking attempts, says there are at least 19 bogus cellphone towers in the U.S. Among other things, they are used for spying.

And if we know about 19 of them, I’m guessing there are many more. These fake cellphone towers can be used for spying on cellphones and even hijacking them. Goldsmith calls them “interceptors.”

“Interceptor use in the U.S. is much higher than people had anticipated,” Goldsmith said. “One of our customers took a road trip from Florida to North Carolina, and he found eight different interceptors on that trip.”

So, next time you use your cellphone, it could be trying to connect with a nearby cellphone tower that, instead of helping you route your call, could be stealing information from your phone to store in a big database that a phone company or the government could use to find out more about you. Or, it could be hacking your phone and infecting it with malware. Comforting thoughts, aren’t they?

Just for fun, tell me what other things you see around you everyday that could be used by the government to spy on us. I’ll bet some of them might actually be used for that exact purpose.

And EVERYTHING works on Electricity and there’s only 3 weak power grids in the country. Worrying about the government or spying is infinitesimal compared to 3 well placed Jihadists Terrorists taking down the grid. Half the population would murder the other half in 30 days. In 6 months our whole country would look like Mad Max III. But rest assured, our correct politicians and rich elitist would all be safe.

It has been reported that the gov is putting towers in the national forests to monitor for poaching (animals and trees) They are logging heavily in thick forests to thin them out so large groups cannot hide in them. Those that think the towers are put up for security are correct but whose security?

Law enforcement has been using a device called Stingray (also known as Triggerfish, IMSI Catcher, Cell-cite Simulator or Digital Analyzer) for a few years now. It’s a small portable devise that fits in a patrol car which acts as a cell tower. All cell signals will go through stingray first and then onto the nearest cell tower. The agencies that were first authorized by the government to use it were not even allowed to admit anything about it or if it even existed. LE is required to obtain a warrant to use it but a FOIA request turned up twenty thousand records but only a handful of warrants.

THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CAMERAS. REMBER THE BIG DEBATE ON THEM BEING ACUALLY TO CAUSE AN ACCEDENT. SO THEY SAID THEY DON’T USE THEM. THERE STILL UP, BUT NO FLASH WHEN YOU GO FOR THE YELLOW AND HT THE RED LIGHT. I BET THERE USING THEM TO SPY ON OUR CARS AND THE PEOPLE IN THE AREA.

Agreed. I have also seen a drone flying over one of our local highways. Saw my first one shortly after seeing signs put up alongside the highways stating that those particular roads were being monitored from the air. Unfortunately, those signs (and the drone) were seen along the two major highways (and most used) in our area.

So let me know the location of the cell tower’s
I do not trust any media outlets anymore, they seem to be working for the enemy. in my opinion The media and politicians are professional lairs. & I question their motives.

Along I -70 in Eastern Colorado I have seen 3 pickup trucks hauling portable towers mounted to a trailer, where they can stop anywhere and anytime. Driving down the road in plain site. Its quicker than setting up a tent.

There’s nothing to monitor in eastern Colorado! There’s nothing there! What in the world kinds of horrible things are you people doing that you think the government is spying on you in eastern Colorado!

Ha! They’re hurting if they’re spying on me. I don’t have nor use a cellphone. All phones now are like trying to talk into an Oreo cookie. I live in the boonies where it’s still quiet, for now at least. I’m the child of an old WWII Army Infantry veteran who was shell shocked all to blazes. (No such thing as PTSD back then!)

From a Patriots point of view, we must understand that we are living in a fallen world. This means we struggle with sin on a daily basis. We experience heartache and pain. We witness natural disasters and staggering loss. Injustice, inhumanity, and falsehood seem to hold sway. We need to understand that these elements are only conduits for Satan and his emissaries to sow discord and trouble which are commonplace today. Actually none of this was God’s original plan for humanity. We fell from our original position in the Garden of Eden, and we now live in a fallen world, and all creation “groans” under the consequences of our sin (Romans 8:22).
The good news is that God does not intend His world to forever groan. Through Jesus Christ, God is repairing His creation.

Well Randy just remember that it all His will and as a human, its tough to see perfection without your view point mucking up the works. If you like Romans, read more of it. It tells you that He is in charge no matter what anyone thinks or says.

JESUS CHRIST. GIVE IT A BREAK WITH THIS GOD CRAP.
WE WHERE COLONISED. ADAM AND EVE WHERE A FABEL!
THEY WHERE THE FIRST HUMANS TO BE PLACED HERE TO BREED. THE EVIL ALIENS WHER THE SNAKE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. LOOK UP THE BOOK, :”THE CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT” AND READ IT.

Time for you to take a break. Let the diss on religion alone. Sure you are free to speak what little mind you have, but so are they free to practice their religion. Both are about to be taken away if clinton gets into office which it will be a miracle that she not collapse and be gone before the election. have you seen how bad that woman’s health has become? Seizures while standing on the podium, being helped up the stairs by that big black guy, falling on entry to an aircraft? She cannot even continue speaking and looks blank as if she cannot recall why she is even in the spotlight.

Now they have water meters that can be read electronically. What’s to say they don’t have some cameras on those sensors that transmit that information back to them. Or what about the electric smart meters that they can remotely disconnect without ever stepping foot on your property.
All this technology is pretty scary.

Logical & good intention subject to abuse. Used to be that a meter that could not be safely read by the meter-reader was read by the resident with occasional required verification by a meter-reader. If the resident was ‘cheating’ they would get hit by a big bill.

Just a short 24 months ago, a Chinese company received permission from the Obama government to build and put in cell towers across the country for the 5S system that was coming. They were going to work for ATT, Sprint, Verizon, and other cell phone carriers to replace their obsolete towers to accept the new system. Upon further research of this Chinese company it was discovered that this company had planned to replace all existing cell towers then spy on the American public with their new 5S system. You see the new technology of these cell towers allowed the Chinese Government to record, capture and send said information directly to China for evaluation and debriefing. Well, lucky for us the Obama government nixed the deal and China was left with losing face and respectability while profusely denying the allegations of their attempted espionage in this country.

Unfortunately, the Obama government took a page from the Chinese government page and created their own spy network using the “interceptors” network to spy on “ALL US CITIZENS.” Their claim as to spying on their own citizens is on the pretense of security for the nation against terrorism. The acorn didn’t fall far from the tree in this case, did it. How else can the government track you, “the terrorist,” as you get instructions from your wife not to forget to bring home the milk and bread or to pick up the kids from the babysitter’s.

I have long considered myself a Libertarian, since they reflect my feelings and beliefs most accurately. What has been happening since 9/11 chills me to the core, and I cling to the hope that it can be reversed. We have a crisis of complacency. As long as the mall is open and the credit card works, everything is ok, right? Here in Washington state, we have cameras in many areas and also all of the new license plates have chips. Orwell was not so far off track.

I don’t about fake cell phone towers, but there are poles with cameras attached going up all along I-10 and probably every other interstate. They (the state) say that they are for amber and silver alerts but what else are they going to be used for?

To answer your question – anything they want or can think of. They will see what the weather is like, or traffic conditions or accidents. They can even put a trace on you and watch you roll down the road and see to it that you are doing the speed limit. It is only the beginning, my friend, it is only the beginning.

Next time use the “state” highways instead of the interstate highways that were brought into existence at the insistence of Eisenhower to move military vehicles more easily from one point to another. The system was financed out of the DOD budget, not regular budget. AND since it is a government owned system you will always be tracked. No privacy in this country any longer.

Anyone that believes that we have freedom of speech is living in a fantasy world. As long as our government is corupted nothing will ever change for us. The only way to put government in its place, is to quit paying taxes. Which by the way is illigle. Go dack to world war one. Inmy opion all government people are worhless pieces of shit.

New odd looking “cell towers” are popping up everywhere. Who is behind these and what can we do about them? (Besides taking the battery out when u leave the house?) Iphones don’t even allow u to remove the battery! That’s so scary in and of itself! We all need to take a stand and stop all this unconstitutional spying. Its so disgusting and unsettling. I am so sick of being on candid camera. Where is the America we all know and love??? There has to be a way to stop this horrifying trend. Afterall, we all know its NOT working and WE the People are not terrorists!!!!

MY PLAN IS TO GET OT OF THIS COUNTRY. IT WILL BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. AMERICA IS GONE.PLAN ON LIVING IN BELIZE. YOU CAN OWN A GUN AND JUST PAY A YEARLY FEE OF $135.00. IF YOU SMOOZE THE POLICE CHIEF YOU’LL GET IT FOR LIFE FREE.YOU CAN LIVE ON $1400.00 A MONTH INCLUDING RENT.

Its a no brainer that cell phones spy on us. Most apps say it in the user agreement that most Americans blindly agree to. People really need to read those things and quite clicking ok. I would not be surprised that any thing with a remote sensor has a hidden camera in it or any pin hole could be a mike. Is uncle Sam watching or is it the NWO a.k.a. The World Bank?Your computer is definitely monitored after all its called a monitor. I often post images on CaféPress and Etsy, and there has been quite a few times I get hacked and warned about suspicious activities for posting a image that’s political in nature. Do we not have freedom of speech or of expression any more? The last time I checked this is still America and I express my views politically in a anti-political way. Its fun to put things into words, and into images and I often use a combination of the two. Everything is not always kosher but I don’t have to be. I don’t believe in political correctness. Conformity is for liberals. I am not a democrat, I am not a republican, I’m a conservative and proud of it. Right Wing, Left Wing to me does not matter…both of them are on the same shit bird and that bird spy’s on us!

Well said! Do not trust anyone in either political arena nor the insanity in the W.H.. I too do not believe in political correctness because it’s a fallacy dreamt up by a weak and frightened people…liberals that stand for lunacy instead of conscious thought..
Keep the intelligent thoughts flowing!
